(audience groans)
Doug: The 10 of Spades -- giving you one pair of 10s. Eddie, you have one pair of Queens and you're assured of high hand for 25 points more.

Doug: What was the last card for Eddie, Deej?
|
|
TODD EDDIE  |
|
(more groans)
Doug: Ace of Clubs -- giving Eddie two pair -- bullets and ladies. But, oh man, a tie score was within Todd's grasp.
Well -- the round's not over until someone reaches 100 points. Let's get there with another Poker Run.
|
|
|
Doug: Now for a two-player run, the players build on their current point totals. Each question in the run is worth 15 points -- but that value will be increased by five points for each face card that comes down the chute. These are the next cards from the top of the deck.
May we have the cards for the Poker Run, please.

D.J.: The Jack of Hearts and the 10 of Hearts.
Doug: So that makes question worth now 20 points. That means Eddie is only two right answers from reaching Joker Poker. Todd will need five right. We've had dramatic comebacks before -- let's see if Todd will be another comeback story or if Eddie will cruise to the next round.
We start the Poker Run -- NOW!
As of today's typing, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is to New York City as Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is to...
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: Los Angeles.
Doug: That's right.
Environmental awareness is to the color green as breast cancer awareness is to the color...
Doug: Todd.
Todd: Pink.

Doug: That's right.
The eleventh day of Christmas is to eleven pipers piping as the seventh day of Christmas is to seven...
Doug: Todd.
Todd: Swans a-swimming.
Doug: *That's* right.
Bart Maverick is to Jack Kelly as Bret Maverick is to...
(time passes) (buzz buzz)
Doug: Time. James Garner played Bret Maverick on "Maverick". This is a good time to recap the score. Eddie has 85 and needs one more to win. Todd with 55, you need three. Next 20 pointer...
In the zodiac, Taurus is to the bull as Pisces is to the...
Doug: Eddie for the round.
Eddie: Fish.
Doug: That's right and that's the Poker Run.
Doug: Well played round, both of you. Eddie, congratulations, you reached the magic number of 100. In just a moment, you'll at least have CY$5000 coming your way -- maybe CY$7500.
Todd, we know you're a great player. You just needed lady luck to be on your side -- and she wasn't in this game. I have some news that, hopefully, will take the sting out of this loss.
We normally award CY$10 per point as a consolation prize. But on this, our 50th episode of Net Poker, we're awarding eliminated contestants CY$50 per point.

Doug: That means -- you go home with CY$2750, some fine gifts backstage and all of this applause.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Eddie, as in the earlier round, one of the letters in the word "POKER" on the video screen hides CY$7500. Each of the rest hides CY$5000.
Eddie: K please.
Doug: The K. Does it hide 7500?

(rimshot; ca-ching) (audience cheers)
Doug: Yes!

Doug: When we return, one of the biggest hands of Joker Poker we've ever played. Andy plays for a new car -- and either Andy or Eddie could win CY$100,000 before we get to Deuces Wild. Stay with us for the fun -- when Net Poker comes back.
